What a week!

So our week really hasn't been super crazy, but it has seemed so busy. Hunter is totally into potato bugs, Box Elder bugs (which he calls his very best friends) and anything that is creepy crawly. I bought this super cute tin container at the DI thinking he'd put some of his crayons or little toys in, but he had a different idea. It has become home to about 20 different bugs, including about 15 potato bugs (which he found and kept in his hand on our walk the other day), 2 snails, a millipede, and an ear wig.



For family night, we decided to teach the kids about saving money. My dad made these really cute "bear banks" so we painted them and we give the kids a penny here and a nickel there when they do chores. The kids helped me out so much yesterday picking up their toys and vacuuming, that I thought they deserved to go spend there money at the dollar store. I gave Hunter his money and he picked out an awesome toy truck. When we went to pay for it, he was hesitant to give it to the clerk. As I could see we were holding up the line, I told Hunter he needed to give the man the money, so he basically threw the change down on the counter. On the drive home, Hunter kept asking where his money was and we had to explain to him that you use money to buy things and that he can earn some more money. I don't think he liked that idea too much:)





Poor Jon got a horrible cut on his finger on Monday while trying to fix the sprinkling system. We spent 3 glorious hours in the ER while he got stitches.



I gave Jaina her first real haircut. I cut about 2 inches off.



We have been living off Otter pops at our house. They have been the perfect treat for a nice hot day!



Hunter had a nap with one of his potato bugs,



...and Jaina caught up on some reading! Hope you all had as fun of a week as we did!
